bought a R1200GS

It's loverly. I've only ever had 600cc sportsbikes before now so it's a
bit of a change and I'm absolutely astonished at how composed and
versatile it is. I would think I'm probably 5% quicker on the beemer
than I am on the ZX6R on most roads.

I'm doing London to Kathmandu on it in september (which is why I bought
it) but I'm now thinking I might keep it in preference to the kwak.

Heated grips! They actually keep your hands warm! Who knew?

Christ I'm getting old.
